MY BOYS !!!! MY FRIENDS!!!! THEY WILL BE REAL SEPTEMBER 4TH!!!!

[ganondoodle]

i was so happy that ganondorf was a character in totk when it was announced but now i am just sad about it honestly, i get that the older games had the trio as a good kids VS evil old guy thing, but i sincerely hoped that how much botw revolutionized(?) about the zelda principle in terms of gameplay they would now have the chance to do so, at least a little bit, in totk with the story

and then, as much as i like his design, hes again just an already very old evil guy that appeared out of nowhere for all we know that needs to be stopped by some kids/really young people and all the crumbs of personality or well ... not even crumbs but pure idea of a backstory we have to interpret into it all from things like manner of speech, animation and design elements bc all he does is some evil monologing that doesnt even serve well for interpretation

like, he was already so old when we first see him, what did he do all his life?? like even if he only turned aggressive once rauru founded this version of hyrule he had to have lived idk 50 years before that, was he just a regular leader of his people before that?? was he just .. some dude?? all we actually know is ... old evil guy shows up and attacks the perfect and good kingdom (tm) dont we? maybe some vague, arbitrary you denied me *generic villain thing like power, rule etc* line but thats it?

(i dont mind having to read between the lines, it can be very fun, but it also depends on if you are reading between lines and theres something intentionally left there or if you are trying really hard to see something but theres nothing actually there for you to find; to be clear, i also like creating your own ideas around stuff, but when you get to know some people from basically birth to their prime time and then theres a guy thats just there to be an endboss and even now in modern games doesnt get anything beyond a neat design and fun bossfight its just ... so flat?sad? i love interpeting but i also wouldnt mind to see something more for once ..)

Idk about y’all but getting to explore a Sonic who seems to still be in a pretty early stage of his friendships and his heroism and learning to become more levelheaded, a little less cocky, value himself, and especially learn that he needs his friends just as much as they need him sounds pretty interesting to me.

I wanna make it clear though, Sonic Prime COULD mess that up. They could have messy characterization all across the board and this arc can be done poorly. That’s in realm of possibility. But we don’t know enough to make that judgement. We have 3 clips that are around 20-30 seconds each. That isn’t enough content to judge an entire season on, imo. If you don’t have an interest in the show, you’re entitled to that 100%, but to act as if it’s completely bad already when we still don’t know much is a little odd to me.

Again, the show can mess all this up, I’m not trying to be here like “no no guys the show is gonna perfect just you wait”, y’all know I’m not that type of person. When the show comes out and if it is a total mess in execution of the story and the characters, i will be on top of that instantly. I go into everything with a critical eye and I pay close attention to the execution to make an opinion. I think going into something with some caution is totally fine, and going into something with some excitement is fine too, but going into something being overly positive or overly negative is just gonna have a huge altering effect on your experience. Whether it makes you blind from the issues, or your expectations aren’t met and you’re underwhelmed, or you’re just biased against it no matter, it’s just a mindset I don’t agree with. Again that’s me.

Going back to Sonic’s character arc, I don’t really see an issue with them wanting to give him one like this. Especially considering this is a Netflix Cartoon being made for kids. Adding this arc for Sonic to learn to be less cocky and value his friendships a lot more could be happening to help make him more relatable to kids. Im not saying Game!Sonic isn’t relatable, but he is a really difficult character to analyze as a casual. Most people who only passively know Sonic know that he’s cocky and he’s a hero. But when you’re someone who has dove into the series and understands how the characters work, you see all the layers Sonic has.

You’re aware that Sonic knows all the risks and sacrifices he takes to protect his planet and its people. You’re aware Sonic knows how much his friends value him and how much he values them. You’re aware that Sonic leaves people better than when he found them. You’re aware that Sonic is an emotional guy even if he doesn’t show it. You’re aware Sonic lives his life freely everyday and that he enjoys life no matter what. You’re aware that Sonic enjoys danger and protecting people. You’re aware that Sonic has one of kindest hearts in the world. We as fans, we all know that. But casuals? Young kids just getting into the franchise? Most of them probably don’t know all this from the games because they’re just playing a fun game with Sonic in it. Kids don’t really notice all these character elements or story beats at first, but they’ll notice it as they grow. As a kid I know I never noticed just how kind and sensible Sonic could be sometimes. That was something I learned as I got older and rlly dove into his character to see.

Generally, game!Sonic doesn’t really have an arc, and it’s because of everything I mentioned above. Sonic’s a character who’s already had most of his development happen already. Unlike his friends, who we see grow from their debut games and onwards, we don’t see Sonic have an arc to grow into being hero because when we meet him, he already knows that. So, instead we get to see how he approaches being a hero given the different scenarios he’s put in, mainly because of Eggman. We see how he adapts when he gains new allies, or when he has a new adversary. Sonic has very minor things that could be considered flaws, but overall he’s a pretty well-rounded and developed character. Which isn’t a bad thing. Having your main character already developed is a rather engaging interpretation because it allows for you to catch those moments where Sonic messes up, where he’s struggling, where he shines, what he likes/dislikes, and how he reacts to things. Those are the moments that can help capture Sonic as a person just as much as they capture him as a hero. They’re a lot more subtle, but they are there.

The biggest constant of Sonic’s character, and the franchise as a whole, are how much his friends matter to him. Friendship is one of Sonic’s biggest values as a character. His friends mean the world to him. He loves them unconditionally and does anything to protect them, and they in turn do the same for him. In the games, Sonic see’s his friends on an equal playing field, and as he should they’re all strong individuals, and that plays into how much they care about each other. As much as they can all handle on their on own, they are stronger as a unit.

Friendship is everything in this franchise.

So if Prime, in a similar sense to the movies, wants to take a more direct approach with Sonic’s character by making his arc more blatant and especially adding more emphasis of him understanding his friends and his friendships with them, I don’t see much harm in that.

[arthur-r]

actual footage of the smallest dance imaginable. a hundred people bought tickets which is. not a lot for an entire seven cities worth of students in a school. and then there was maybe fifty people total in the building at the most filled up time cause so many people just used the tickets as donating to charity and didn’t even want to go

[helennorvilles]
